July 27 was a high electromagnetic storm day, so let the birds loose at the Walmart parking lot.Less than 20 minutes later they were home.

July 28 loft flying. Blues still are not routing.

July 29 I took Gold team to White, to Zach's house. 20 minutes later, Dani called to tell me they were circling the house.

July 30 I took both teams, Blue and Gold for an easy toss at the end of the driveway. About half a mile, but the first time out of sight of the loft for Blue team. They did well and flew straight home. Not sure what would have happened if it was just Blue team... Will find out soon enough.

My Aunt contacted me, reminding me that I let my blog fall behind.A busy week, then pneumonia will do that to you...

Had a bit of a busy time with band camp, but did releasesJuly 12, 14, and 16 from Adairsville High. Birds got home faster each time.During band camp, the high school was the only choice for releases, since I was at the school from 8am until 5pm.

Then, on July 18 I had the birds loaded, went to a friend's house for a bridal shower.It started storming, so I didn't toss on the way there, as planned.On the way home, the storms became MUCH worse. Birds rode home, and flew across the yard.

I ended up feverish that evening, and spent a week with pneumonia.Released at 5 miles from all directions, since birds were always home in 20 minutes.Tossed from Kingston, Harley Dealership at the interstate, and then up in the White area.
